One of the most significant physiological transformations a woman experiences in her lifetime occurs during menopause. It's more than hot flashes and the cessation of the menstrual cycle - there are changes in our emotional and sexual lives, as well.

There are many approaches to staying healthy and understanding these changes, including regular check-ups and screenings with your health

care providers, exploring different medical and therapeutic solutions, and staying active and engaged in friendships, work, and family. New health concerns may need to be addressed, from osteoporosis to being at a greater risk for major illnesses.
